| Hi | |||
| My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break. | |||
| Your responible for this: | |||
| I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page). | |||
| 13:43, 2 December 2006 Essjay (Talk | contribs) blocked "85.234.128.0/19 (contribs)" with an expiry time of 6 | |||
| months (Proxy/Webhosting service, checkuser shows nothing but vandals and socks) | |||
| I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better. | |||

| Hi, Essjay. I saw that ] had an unblock notice. I looked at his block log, and he didn't seem to be blocked. He then posted a second notice, giving his IP — ]. I checked the block log for that IP, and it was clean. I assumed that it was collateral damage from a block issued to a logged-on user who had, perhaps, vandalized, so I unblocked that IP. I then looked more carefully at what Sam had put on his user page, and I saw that that IP had been blocked by you, as a checkuser block. I apologize for unblocking. I should have looked more carefully at the notice he put on his talk page. There was nothing in the block log either for Sam or for that IP that would have alerted me. I decided to reblock immediately, and take it up with you. However, I didn't know how long you had blocked for, so I made my block 48 hours. Since you placed the original block, I'd be much more comfortable leaving it in your hands. Please see ] of Sam's talk page. Sorry again for jumping in without looking.

This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.
My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.
I ask that the first steward to see this message please remove my various flags from this wiki, as well as from Meta, Commons, and Wikiquote, and remove the bot flags from my bots, which of course will no longer be running. My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page).
I've enjoyed my time here, and done much good work; my time, however, is over, and leaving is the best thing for me and for Misplaced Pages. I walk away happy to be free to go about other things. I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Misplaced Pages better.
